Body Language – Non-Verbal Communication Skills For Success

Our body involuntarily give-off signals as we speak, think and interact. If you send the wrong signals even if you’re unaware of it – your business, career, relationships may suffer. So you need to be careful.

Understanding body language will provide you with a great advantage in your daily communication and helps you in developing better professional work relationship, and everyday life. You can more easily understand other people, and more effectively communicate with them. And be in control of any situation with your boss, friends, partner or even total strangers.

Upright Posture: Align your body with the person you’re speaking. It signals that you are engaged in the conversation.

Nodding or tilted head: Nods shows that you understand, agree, and listening to what the other person is saying.

Eyes – Connect, Don’t stare: Avoiding eye contact is a sign of low self-confidence. If someone talking to you, prolonged eye contact is a sign of a confident personality. But there is a difference between looking into someone’s eyes and staring which is considered rude.

A Pleasant Smile: To stimulate good feelings, smile but not too much as it shows how nervous you are feeling right now?

Open Arms and hands: Keep your arms uncrossed to show you are open to what someone else is communicating. And use hands to gesture when you speak.

The best thing would be to videotape yourself, review it and make a list of all the negative body language you notice. Tackle each of your negative points one at a time. Most of all you will get better results with each session, but it takes time and patience.

The next time you are having a conversation with someone, try to avoid the use of any of these negative body language while you’re talking.

Remember it’s not what you say it’s how you say it and your body does speak very loudly.
